وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ

And his mother and his father

وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ

And his wife and his children,

لِكُلِّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ شَأۡنٞ يُغۡنِيهِ

For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him.[1]

وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ مُّسۡفِرَةٞ

[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright –

ضَاحِكَةٞ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٞ

Laughing, rejoicing at good news.

وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَلَيۡهَا غَبَرَةٞ

And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust.

تَرۡهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ

Blackness will cover them.

أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَفَرَةُ ٱلۡفَجَرَةُ

Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones.

إِذَا ٱلشَّمۡسُ كُوِّرَتۡ

When the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتۡ

And when the stars fall, dispersing,

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتۡ

And when the mountains are removed

وَإِذَا ٱلۡعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتۡ

And when full-term she-camels[1] are neglected

وَإِذَا ٱلۡوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتۡ

And when the wild beasts are gathered

وَإِذَا ٱلۡبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتۡ

And when the seas are filled with flame[1]

وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتۡ

And when the souls are paired[1]

وَإِذَا ٱلۡمَوۡءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتۡ

And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked

بِأَيِّ ذَنۢبٖ قُتِلَتۡ

For what sin she was killed

وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتۡ

And when the pages[1] are spread [i.e., made public]

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتۡ

And when the sky is stripped away

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتۡ

And when Hellfire is set ablaze

وَإِذَا ٱلۡجَنَّةُ أُزۡلِفَتۡ

And when Paradise is brought near,

عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٞ مَّآ أَحۡضَرَتۡ

A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].[1]

فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ

So I swear by the retreating stars –

ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ

Those that run [their courses] and disappear [i.e., set]

وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ

And by the night as it closes in[1]

وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ

And by the dawn when it breathes [i.e., stirs]

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٖ كَرِيمٖ

[That] indeed, it [i.e., the QurÕŒn] is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger [i.e., Gabriel]

ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِينٖ

[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],

مُّطَاعٖ ثَمَّ أَمِينٖ

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.

وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجۡنُونٖ

And your companion [i.e., Prophet Muúammad () ] is not [at all] mad.[1]
